Hi all, i would like to start the game again, which mods do you suggest i should not miss ?
I have all the expansions.
I would like to install above all some mods to improve graphics, to make the UI better and to fix bugs (if there are any)
Many thanks if you can help.
P.S. Should i play the main campaign or some of the many "Modules" i see around ?
TonyK's Monster and Companion AI v2.2
rpgplayer1's spell fixes (if you can find it)
go custom, man, go custom 
There aren't any holistic graphics improvements, but the game can actually look pretty good on its own. Many custom modules look significantly better than the OC, especially when it comes to itemization. For UI, you can get extended hotbars and some complete redos on the vault, but nothing that would be considered an improved version of the original.
I also second rpgplayer1's spell fixes. I think the most recent spell fix pack is the one here: http://nwvault.ign.c...ts.Detail&id=99 which was updated a couple years ago. Careful with these, though, some of the changes (like sneak attack damage to negative level touch attacks) are ridiculously overpowered in the OC.
I'd highly recommend playing the first two campaigns. They're fun, voice acted, and open to whatever modding you want to install, particularly PRC packs and the like. Never liked SOZ. After that, there are some other great modules on the vault (dark waters comes to mind, but there are literally hundreds of hours worth of other ones). If multiplayer tickles your fancy, nwnlist.com is the way to find active servers. There are still active servers in the role playing, social, and story categories for both nwn1 and nwn2.
Thank you for the replies. I will download them.
Pj156, maybe you meant "you should play a community module" ? I know what mods are, but not sure about modules...are they like user made campaigns ? if so, what character level should i have, can i start a new character with them or should i play first the main campaign?
Kevl, you mean this one? rpgplayer1's spell fixes http://nwvault.ign.c...ts.Detail&id=85
What about a GUI one ? Not needed?
What do you think of these other ones mentioned here? (there are many graphical ones that, as stated before, i would like to add).

cheers for the help

Recommended level and class varies from module to module. They usually tell you what level range would be best, and many give you the option to auto-level to an appropriate level if you use a character that isn't high enough.
"Mod" can be used to mean "module" or "modification". The user-made adventures (or campaigns) are usually called modules.

Well, not to toot my own horn, but you could try this one.
For what it's worth, here are the most endorsed NWN2 modules on Nexus. It might be slightly more informative to list the most endorsed per total downloads, but there you go.
yes, that's the one i meant.. But Reeron & Trekari's (mentioned by Psionic-Entity) looks far more complete, and both cannot be used - at least not without plenty of toolset fiddling, i figure. Note that Kaedrin's PrC ClassPack contains rpgplayer1's fixes, i believe.Kevl, you mean this one? rpgplayer1's spell fixes http://nwvault.ign.c...ts.Detail&id=85

Thanks dude, and to all the others who replied. Will need to make a scheme i guess, it is getting complicated...especially with the compatibility when u install more mods.
What are PRC and SOZ ? please don't use abbreviations with me if you can
Will reply to the others later.
thanks again (also for the multiplayer hint)
Reeron's include's player1's stuff if I recall correctly, and it's formatted in a way that makes it very modular. Since only script files are imported it doesn't conflict with any of the big packs that add prestige classes or other gameplay elements, and the script are posted to the vault in packs with very user-friendly descriptions. You can choose to simply fix bugs, to make spells behave as they do in pen and paper dnd, or to add some extra content on top of all that.
If you're really in to dnd and want an "authentic" dnd experience, the extended spell pack will help that a lot. If you're really in to allowing tons of homebrew classes and feats, Kaedrin's pack is another good pick, and completely compatible with just about everything else people are suggesting here, including some user-generated modules.
For what it's worth, here are the most endorsed NWN2 modules on Nexus. It might be slightly more informative to list the most endorsed per total downloads, but there you go.
thanks, that's the first place i went to look for, but it looks like the first ones are mainly modules (campaign), right?
another question. But about the prestige classes mods, aren't those classes already included in the official expansions ?
Should i install additional classes or will there be conflicts?
To be honest, i think there is already enough material to have fun for me, i do not need too many classes and too much content, will not have time anyway.
I just accept the game bugs and roll with them.
sage advice.
A well-tested expansion pack that included just the most popular enhancements and fixes would be a nice addition. (Like the NWN1 Community Patch.) But it would need somebody willing to maintain and enhance it.
Thanks, will install this, but i see it is for 1900x1080. Will i have problems with my resolution that is 1900x1200?
None at all.
My player made game list will be much different as I am the oldest serving poster here save for a few others who lurk mostly.
Even I showed up 3 years after nwn2 was out so who knows.
But definitely try Asphyxia, Harp & Chrysanthemum, Fate of a City.
thank you all, keeping your advices in a safe place.
finishing blackguards, then starting NWN2 or Dark souls 2.
Hi all, I have just restarted (finally) the official campaign. Without mods, I noticed that the wizard casts the spells really badly, and she immediately used the scrolls she had (i would have kept them and written them to the spellbook), So i installed Tony K's IA.
I have extracted the files in a subfolder of "override" (as in the instructions) that i simply called "IA". How do i know if the mod is actually working ?
Also, is there a way to respec my main character ?
I haven't used TonyK's AI, but the settings to prevent your spellcaster from casting spells in overkill, and using scrolls, is the same place as it is without TonyK's AI -- in the character sheet for that character, under the "Behaviour" tab.
Thanks Tchos! btw i have installed your UI mod and it's great
( you'll know Tony's AI is installed if the Behavior tab grows twice as long )
